Breaking boxes.

Sometimes you have to trace back the reasons that justify your stand. When everybody is trying to find boxes which your words and actions can be put into, when people look for labels to attach to you, when your very friends agree with the rest of the world and just encourage you to yield to what most think, at the verge of believing you need to pause and remember why you disagree. Remember why you allow yourself to certain things. Remember why your boundaries stretch so much farther. Remember why your thought bubble is of a different shape, why it's much bigger. At that point of wanting to say yes but having to say no, remember to at least question - why?

Because you can only be too careful. Because you can only be too cautious about what people have to say, and you can only know so much of what they think. Because assumptions and risks and misunderstanding are scary and messy things to deal with, but you can always do your part to clear things up. And it is only your part you can do something about. There is always a part of the picture that you can't control, that you can only sway to a certain degree. Because at the end of the day, you know you honestly, whole-heartedly not want to hurt anyone. At the end of the day, you don't want to miss on the moments waiting for you to seize.
